> Does it produce runnable binaries? No. Even the decompiled version is incomplete - there's comments all over it which signal missing code like "could not recover jumptable ... too many branches". The "refactored" version is wildly speculative - it looks more like a very clumsy attempt to write a new translator than to reverse-engineer an existing one. > With some patches (or so I'm told) it can be made to run on non-apple-silicon arm64 hardware. With the huge caveat that the generated code will expect TSO to be enabled, and may malfunction on non-TSO ARM systems, particularly when running multithreaded code. (Most ARM systems are non-TSO; Apple Silicon has a MSR to enable TSO.) |
